If we follow Palin's thinking, those governers should resign after being sworn in because they're lame ducks for their entire term. If Palin is planning on running for POTUS, she would've been better off complete her term. It's not as though the presidential election is next year.
It would seem to me she is doing something responsible.

The left is trying to distract her with ethics complaint after ethics complaint. Never mind that every single one has been dismissed as without merit - they just keep filing them. That is not in the best interest of her state. As we all said regarding Clinton, regarding Spitzer, regarding Blago, and are saying now regarding Sanford - when the person in office is a detriment to the office they serve, they need to step down.

Seems a pretty responsible thing to do, and raises her up another notch in the ethics scale, the respectability scale, the maturity scale. JMO.

I would agree with you if Palin had done something wronge. She hasn't, which is why the ethics complaints are being dismissed.

I doubt she'd come straight out and say "I'm a crazy attention whore! Look at me!!!".

Funny.

Dummy quits on her state, fails to fulfill her commitment to the voters because she's got delusions of grandeur...and the Republicans pretend this is a good thing.

Not that this is a surprise. She's been running for President ever since McCain got desperate and failingly picked her as his VP. Talk about the blind leading the blind. Sheesh.


If McCain picked Romney as his VP, he's President. But everyone's hot for the dummy because she's "pretty".

No wonder the GOP is a joke.



Is the Boehner crying? He should be.

Obama was voted in to his position, and Sarah "Media Whore" Palin won't even come close. Heck, half the GOP hates her for her vacant dumbness.

But she's a pretty redneck. So she's got that. And you make fun of Obama's voters!
